Honeymoon in Bermuda: Royal Naval Dockyards

 We spent our last day in Bermuda in the Royal Naval Dockyards, which was where our ship was docked.  We had to be 'all aboard' by 4pm so we wanted to stay close by.  After our snorkeling excursion was cancelled yet again, we proceeded with plan B.  Go to the Clock Tower Mall, eat at the Frog and Onion Pub, and go to the National Museum.  And, go!

The mall was cool to walk around, but pretty small.  We got through it in about 30 minutes.  There were about 14 stores, and 13 of them were pretty identical souvenir shops in a flea market-esque setting.

The term 'Mall' used loosely.

After the mall we went and ate at the Frog and Onion Pub.  It was really cool.  The pub itself isn't too old, but the building it is in dates back to the 1800s.  There are some good pics of it on their website here.  Mine didn't turn out too well unfortunately.



After a big lunch we went to the museum and saw lots of cool things!







Why isn't this cannon firing...?





Then we had to get back on the boat back to America.  We had a good time!
